I don't think anyone is denying this is CGI, it's pretty obvious. It's damn good CGI though, easily the best looking thing I have seen on my TV.

That's old compressed CGI by the way, this is better.

It's been safe to say that since 2008.....

It's not my opinion, I haven't played the game, I'm just going by the conclusion of both of these sites. And I didn't know that about 2.0, thanks! 

Did you take the screenshots yourself? I don't know what kind of magic PS3 enhancing HD TV  you have, but my HD TV doesn't show God of War III looking as AA smooth and crisp as the shots show in this thread. 

Devs often release what they call "In-Game" screens, and while they were in fact rendered on the console they often have more AA than the actual game will have when you play it. It happens all the time. For example "The Last of Us" is going to be full of jaggies just like all the other games this generation but you wouldn't know by looking at the "In-Game" screens released by Naughty Dog so far. It's what's called "Bullshots" and everybody does it. The internet is full of "in-game" screen shots that look far better than games look when we get to play them.

I'm not saying the game looks bad. But this thread is full of bullshots and in some posts flat out CGI.

That's a weakness for the home consoles. The graphics king title belongs to the system that has the best graphics, that would be the PC. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. 

And of course going by that logic the PS3 would look better than the X360. Since it came out a year later. So it's not fair to compare them. 

Some people don't understand the difference between actual gameplay character models and cut scene character models. With a cut scene the game developer has absolute control of the camera angle and distance with little or no player input so can just cram much more detail into the mix. Also it does depend on your TV and it's settings on how good a game can look. I got plenty of friends who know sweet FA about console settings, tv settings etc. I had one friend who was playing SD resolution on his PS3 on an HD TV until I corrected it. On my TV I got the settings so the games look really contrasty and vibrant with soft motion flow to give the illusion of 60fps. When my friends come round and watch me play they think the same game looks a lot better than on their TV.

To those, who are trying to comment on the fact that PCs are the actual graphics king, the whole thread looses its point.

But no one is taking those people serious
THere isn't a single 360 game that can compete with a PS3 Exclusive in any way.
And i can garanty that Halo 4 won't even come close to The Last of Us or Exclusives from 2009,especially if this is really pushing the 360 to its limit like they promise.
Im saying now that the Witcher 2 will be the most technical impressive game on the 360 - A game that looks like a shadow to the one year old PC Version.

The PS3 is still pushing forward with every exclusive every year.

Sorry D21Lewis you of all people should know by now that I'm a thread whore, I make a lot of threads and I like making controversial threads to get big discussions out of them :)

Nope, the title would go to the supercomputers used by the army, scientists and some specialised companies.  Not PCs (personal computers).

See how this makes any sense?
